Unfortunately this is no longer true. Matsumoto’s paper, “Voyager Interstellar Mission: Challenges of Flying a Very Old Spacecraft on a Very Long Mission” notes that the full suite of system simulators were not retained beyond the prime mission due to reliability problems, loss of expertise, and a move. This makes the team’s recent achievements even more impressive.
Enjoyed this thoroughly. I am especially glad to have this community in this age of AI.
Stunning. I especially like the artist’s subtle but skilled use of light. Thank you for sharing this.
